Today's Stats:
Breakfast
Since I'm reporting this a couple of days late, although I remember what we had for breakfast, I don't remember anything else, so I'm assuming everything was normal.
Lunch
I remember thinking her blood sugar was a little high, for her, considering how long it had been since breakfast, etc. Still keeping an eye on chewable those Vitamin C's.
Dinner
There wasn't much of a break between lunch and dinner, but she was hungry and so was I...not sure why. Did we do exercises that day? I think so. She also didn't take a nap on this day.
